This second part of the Summer Field Trip Ideas for
Homeschoolers series will focus on plays and performances.
One of the very best summer field trip ideas for
homeschoolers is a place where they can get an up close look at the performing
arts. Check your local listings for theater arts groups, puppet theaters,
dance theaters, and auditoriums. Many agencies that promote local performing
arts are happy to offer discounted tickets to educational groups.
When choosing performing arts as a summer field trip idea
for your homeschoolers, please keep in mind appropriateness of the subject
matter for the age of children you are escorting. Some performances that
would be perfectly understandable to teens might go right over the heads of an
elementary school group.
Finally, remember the musical arts when planning your
list of summer field trip ideas for your homeschoolers. Many towns have
local symphonies and most towns even boast a youth symphony that might be
instrumental in getting your children interested in playing an instrument of
their own. Youth symphonies in particular are amenable to allowing
homeschoolers and other groups a more in-depth look into the
“behind-the-scenes” activities of a symphony, making them a veritable must-have
on your summer field trip list!
